Pardon. I'm not arguing that WWW obsolesces USENET; that claim would obviously
be wrong. I'm claiming that WWW obsolesces the FAQ format for almost all
purposes, with a limited exception for periodic postings that are clearly
focused on a particular newsgroup (as opposed to a newsgroup's informational
topic, the usual case).
